One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Stanwood who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
